you are an artist. thanks again for the photos. urban desolation...very sad.
I think the tides are turning for many northern cities. Everyone moves to the Northwest, Southwest or Southeast and all they talk about is the warm weather. I left Michigan for Texas in 1985 (not because of the weather) and returned in 2005 but had wanted to go back since 1995. Really long summers and mild winters sound good but to live them year in and year out gets really old and boring. In N.Central Texas the high heat starts in April and doesn't end until October and November and December are pretty balmy too. You go from air conditioned houses, to air conditioned cars to air conditioned offices in an effort to avoid all of the heat so to hear people talk about how enjoyable the long warm season is is laughable. No real change in seasons just a gradual shlepping from one to the other. They can keep it. Oh yeah, I'll take huge trees and tons of natural lakes and rivers any day over the intense heat of the south.
